Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the background to the famous Battle of the Inch of Perth in 1396, said to have been fought between thirty men from Clan Quhele and Clan Qwhewyl, resulting in the death of all but eleven combatants. Investigative author and folklorist Alexander Mackintosh re-examines existing historical accounts of the battle, analyzing the seemingly contradictory and incomplete nature of the texts to reveal the many layers of stories woven together over time. Mackintosh questions the attributed assertions and motivations, using the major texts of the time to explore the broader socio-historical background and landscape in which this incident took place. The author delves into the complexities of place names and historic naming conventions, particularly the use of patronymics, to suggest alternative theories for the origins of the clans involved. These theories challenge conventional wisdom around the descendants of these clans, including the Macphersons and Shaw. The book concludes with an insightful discussion of the significance of these findings for understanding the origins of Scottish clans and the nature of folklore. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330062081_0
